简要总结
This study was conducted to determine the effects of kinesiotaping (KT) and sham KT applied with exercise program on clinical parameters such as pain, sleep, and quality of life in postmenopausal women with chronic low back pain. A randomized controlled experimental design, characteristic of quantitative research, was utilized. The subjects consisted of 60 postmenopausal women. The Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used as data collection tools.
详细描述
With rising life expectancy, women are expected to spend a third of their lives in the postmenopausal stage. Consequently, focusing research on postmenopausal women is considered crucial.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual analog scale (VAS)
时间窗: up to 48 hours
VAS is used to subjectively measure perceived pain. It is a scale in the form of a 0-10 cm ruler, with 'no pain' at one end and 'the most severe pain' at the other, used to quantify pain intensity. The patient marks their pain level on the ruler.
次要结局
- Pittsburgh sleep quality index(up to 48 hours)
